4 Lino kacitanacitika eeci, mupaizi iwakali kulanganya maanda aakulida aamuŋanda* ya Leza wesu+ wakali Eliyasibu+ musazinyina a Tobiya.+ 5 Wakamuyakila ŋanda yakulida mpati, ooko kaindi nkobakali kubikka zituuzyo zyamaila, tununkilizyo, zibelesyo azipaanzi zyakkumi zyamaila, zyawaini mupya azyamafwuta+ eezyo izyakali zyaba Levi,+ baimbi abalindizi bamilyango alimwi azyakusanga izyabapaizi.+
6 Ciindi coonse eeci tiindakali mu Jerusalemu, nkaambo ndakaunkide kumwami mumwaka wa 32 + wabulelo bwa Mwami Aritasasita+ wa Babuloni; eelyo mukuya kwaciindi ndakalomba mwami kuti ndipiluke. 7 Mpoonya ndakapiluka ku Jerusalemu akubona cintu cibi Eliyasibu+ ncaakacitila Tobiya,+ kwiinda mukumupa ŋanda mulubuwa lwaŋanda ya Leza mwini-mwini. 8 Eeci cakandicima kapati, aboobo ndakasowa zintu zyoonse zyamuŋanda ya Tobiya kuzwa muŋanda yakulida. 9 Kumane ndakapa malailile, eelyo bakaasalazya maanda aakulida; mpoonya ndakapilusya zibelesyo zyamuŋanda ya Leza mwini-mwini+ antoomwe acituuzyo camaila atununkilizyo.+
10 Alimwi ndakajana kuti zyaabilo zyaba Levi+ tiizyakapegwa kulimbabo,+ aboobo ba Levi abaimbi ibakali kubeleka mulimo bakaunka, umwi aumwi kumuunda wakwe.+ 11 Aboobo ndakabanyemena baleli babili+ akubabuzya kuti: “Ino nkaambo nzi ŋanda ya Leza mwini-mwini ncoyalekelezyegwa?”+ Mpoonya ndakababunganya antoomwe ba Levi akubapilusya mumasena aabo. 12 Aboobo ba Juda boonse bakaleta cipaanzi cakkumi+ camaila, cawaini mupya alimwi acamafwuta kuziyobwedo.+ 13 Mpoonya ndakabikka Selemiya mupaizi, Zadoki sikukkopolola,* Pedaya umwi waba Levi kuti kabalanganya ziyobwedo, alimwi Hanani mwana wa Zakuri mwana wa Mataniya wakali sikubagwasyilizya, nkaambo baalumi aaba bakali kubonwa kuti balasyomeka. Wakali mukuli wabo kupa zyaabilo kubanabokwabo.
14 Kondiyeeya,+ O Leza wangu mumakani aaya, alimwi utalubi milimo yangu yaluyando lutamani njindacitila ŋanda ya Leza wangu alimwi amilimo yanjiyo.*+
15 Mumazuba aayo ndakabona bantu mu Juda kabalyatauka misaansa mubuzuba bwa Sabata,+ kabaleta milwi yamaila akwiibikka ambongolo, alimwi kabaleta awaini, misaansa, nkuyu amikuli yamisyobo-misyobo mu Jerusalemu mubuzuba bwa Sabata.+ Aboobo ndakabacenjezya kuti tabeelede kusambala zintu mubuzuba oobu.* 16 Alimwi bana Turo ibakali kukkala mumunzi bakali kuleta nswi amakwebo aamisyobo-misyobo akusambala kubantu bamu Juda amu Jerusalemu mubuzuba bwa Sabata.+ 17 Aboobo ndakabanyemena bantu balemekwa bamu Juda akubaambila kuti: “Ino ncintu nzi eeci cibi ncomucita, icakusofwaazya nobuba buzuba bwa Sabata? 18 Sena oobu tabuli mbubo mbobakacita bamauso, cakuti Leza wesu wakaleta mapenzi oonse aaya alindiswe alimwi aamunzi ooyu? Lino muyungizya bukali buyaka mbuli mulilo kubana Israyeli kwiinda mukusofwaazya Sabata.”+
19 Aboobo mbokwakatalika buyo kusiya kumilyango yamu Jerusalemu buzuba bwa Sabata kabutanatalika, ndakalailila kuti milyango yoonse ijalwe. Alimwi ndakalailila kuti tabeelede kwiijalula kusikila bwiinde buzuba bwa Sabata, alimwi ndakabikka babelesi bangu bamwi kumilyango kutegwa babone kuti taakwe mikuli iiletwa mubuzuba bwa Sabata. 20 Aboobo basambazi abasimakwebo bazintu zyamisyobo-misyobo bakabucesya anze aa Jerusalemu ciindi comwe naa zyobilo. 21 Mpoonya ndakabacenjezya akubaambila kuti: “Ino nkaambo nzi ncomubucesya kumbele lyabwaanda? Ikuti mukaciinduluke alimwi, ndiyoomutanda.” Kuzwa ciindi eeco tiibakaboola kabili mubuzuba bwa Sabata.
22 Mpoonya ndakaambila ba Levi kuti beelede kulisalazya lyoonse akuboola kuti kabalindilila milyango kutegwa basalazye buzuba bwa Sabata.+ Akaambo kamakani aaya, kondiyeeya O Leza wangu akundifwida luzyalo kweelana aluyando lwako lupati lutamani.+
23 Alimwi mumazuba aayo ndakabona aba Juda ibakakwete bamakaintu*+ bana Asidodi,+ bana Amoni abana Moabu.+ 24 Cisela cabana babo bakali kwaambaula mwaambo wabana Asidodi alimwi amyaambo yabantu baindene-indene, pele kunyina naba omwe akati kabo iwakali kukonzya kwaambaula mwaambo waci Juda. 25 Aboobo ndakabanyemena akubasinganya alimwi bamwi babo ndakabauma+ akubajwa masusu akubapa kukonka kuli Leza, ndakati: “Tamweelede kukwasya bana banu basimbi kubana babo basankwa alimwi tamweelede kukwata bana babo basimbi nokuba kuzumizya bana banu basankwa kukwata bana babo.+ 26 Sena taali makwata-kwata aakapa kuti Mwami Solomoni wa Israyeli abisye? Akati kamasi manji kwakanyina mwami wakali mbuli nguwe;+ alimwi wakali kuyandwa kuli Leza wakwe,+ aboobo Leza wakamubikka kuba mwami wabana Israyeli boonse. Pele naba nguwe, bamakaintu beenzu bakamupa kubisya.+ 27 Sena tacitondwi kulindinywe kucita cibi cipati boobu, kucita cakutasyomeka kuli Leza wesu kwiinda mukukwata bamakaintu beenzu?”+
28 Lino umwi wabana ba Joyada+ mwana wa Eliyasibu+ mupaizi mupati wakaba mukwe wa Sanibalati+ muna Horoni. Aboobo ndakamutanda kuzwa kulindime.
